Natasha Khan (a.k.a. Bat For Lashes) has revealed that her sixth studio album The Dream of Delphi will arrive May 31st and she has unveiled the atmospheric title track as the project’s lead single. The follow-up to 2019’s Lost Girls will be accompanied by a UK tour this June and a handful of European festival dates through July.

“It’s like a spell being cast,” Khan says of her new music in an official statement. “It’s the conjuring, the manifestation, the drawing-down of Delphi from the ether. This is me calling on her soul. It’s about going up into the stars and down into the underworld simultaneously, how celestials and deep guttural sounds can come together, how that reflects the journey I went on. It’s about what happens when you’re stretched physically, mentally, even vaginally! I think it's just humbled me, becoming a mother. It’s made me feel more vulnerable than I’ve ever felt before.”
